“More customers are using mobile and internet banking than ever before, innovation such as Touch and Voice ID has proved extremely popular, and fewer people are using branches.
“More than 90 per cent of our interactions with customers are now through our digital channels – an increase from 80 per cent last year.
“Our priority now is to work with our colleagues, our customers and the communities impacted.”
